California State Parks and the California State Railroad Mus
eum are proud to present a timely new exhibit titled &ldquo\;Off the C
lock: Sports Clubs of the Southern Pacific&rdquo\; that debuts on Fri
day\, October 28\, 2016. The playful new exhibit is focused on the wide va
riety of sports clubs\, teams and athletic competitions that many Southern
Pacific employees participated in during evenings and on weekends in the
early to mid-1900s.&nbsp\; In fact\, many &ldquo\;off the clock&rdquo\; wo
rkers from the Sacramento Shops &ndash\; now known as the historic railyar
ds &ndash\; formed intramural teams to compete with one another or against
traveling teams and clubs sponsored by the railroad.

\n\n

\n\n

In addition to engaging photographs\, posters and articles\, the <
em>Off the Clock exhibit also includes a number of athletic artifacts
such as a bow and arrows\, track shoes and a wool bathing suit all from t
he 1920s. Much of the interpretive information for the exhibit is based on
sports highlights and tidbits included in The Southern Pacific <
em>Bulletin that was published monthly and distributed free to active
and retired Southern Pacific employees from 1920 to 1990.

\n\n

&nbsp
\;

\n\n

The new Off the Clock exhibit is scheduled to be on
display in the Museum&rsquo\;s lobby through June 2018. Railroad Museum ad

For hundreds of years\, Europe&rsquo\;s most ta
lented composers aspired to create music worthy of devout worship\, which
they set into musical Mass settings\, known as &ldquo\;Missa&rdquo\; in La
tin.

\n\n

In December
the Vocal Art Ensemble\, an a capella chorus based in Davis\, will
present a concert set entitled Missa Virtualis: Fusion of Faith\, c
urating its own &lsquo\;Virtual Mass&rsquo\; to celebrate centuries of sac
red beauty.

\n\n

&ldquo
\;There are so many stunning Mass settings\, and I think very few people e
ver get to enjoy them\,&rdquo\; explains VAE director Tracia Barbieri. &ld
quo\;Sure\, you may have heard music by Josquin or Tallis or Byrd\, but th
eir Masses are harder to experience because they aren'\;t often program
med in concerts or even in worship&mdash\;and that is a real shame because
they could very well be some of their most inspired works!&rdquo\;

\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

Missa Virtualis sets rare re
pertoire within the context of the Mass form\, with each section combining
different composers and unique moments in music history. The concert will
also include an artful sampling of diverse contemporary choral repertoire
\, chosen for its adherence to the spirit of the Mass and its messages of
humility\, praise\, hope\, and peace.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;Abun D'\;bash'\;maiyo resonates with me because of
its ancient language\,&rdquo\; says Steve Burns\, who sings bass in VAE.
&ldquo\;The composer Mark Templeton researched and set the Lord'\;s Pra
yer in the Syriac dialect of Aramaic\, the language believed to be used by
Jesus himself.

\n\n

&n
bsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;When
I sing it I feel&hellip\;.transported!&rdquo\;

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

Guiding the audience through this program will be a se
ries of multimedia videos created specifically for this concert\, written
by Laura Sandage and narrated by professional voice actor James K Flynn.
p>\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;Music becomes more en
riching when you know the stories behind its creation!&rdquo\; notes Barbi
eri. &ldquo\;So I am excited about intertwining this ancient art with mode
rn technology\, so that our audiences can connect to the music on multiple
levels.&rdquo\;

\n\n

&
nbsp\;

\n\n

Whether the
y are aware of it or not\, fans of choral music have been affected by the
Mass. Masses were hugely responsible for the flourishing of polyphonic mus
ic during the Renaissance\, and as the principal large-scale musica
l composition of the day it set a precedent for many beloved large scale v
ocal works to come\, such as Mozart'\;s Requiem or even Orff'
\;s Carmina Burana.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

B
ut for the Vocal Art Ensemble\, this concert is intended to be a chance to
enjoy a more intimate atmosphere&mdash\;one that can arise from contempla
tive moments of quiet beauty.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;I love learning this music\, whose melodies are a balm to the so
ul\,&rdquo\; comments VAE alto Pat Moore-Pickett. &ldquo\;I hope many othe
rs take the chance to have their souls soothed through this concert.&rdquo
\;

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

To augment the concert
9\;s historical component\, VAE will be joined by members of the UC Davis
Viol Consort\, an ensemble formed by musicology Ph.D. candidate Melita Den
ny. Viols\, otherwise known as viola de gamba\, were popular in ins
trumental ensembles in the 15th to 17th centuries. Though they look like c
ellos of varying sizes\, they are more closely related to the lute\, and o
ffer a distinct\, ancient sound.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;I am very excited to be part of this fascinating program that
examines the Mass from different perspectives\,&rdquo\; reports Denny. &l
dquo\;So much of the music we play is either vocal music or closely connec
ted to vocal music\, and there is a lot we can learn by approaching our mu
sic in the way that a singer would.&rdquo\;

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

Missa Virtualis premieres on Friday\, December 9\,
2016 at 7:30 pm at the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (2620 Capitol Ave.\, Sa
cramento). Repeat performances are on Saturday\, December 10 at 7:30pm at

Spanish Galleon Era.&nbsp\; Then\, the children will show their enthusias

Accomplished artists Kerry Rowland-Avrech and Kelly Detw
eiler come together at the John Natsoulas Gallery for a remarkable exhibit
ion of narrative works. This unforgettable exhibition opens November 30th\
, 2016 and runs through January 3rd\, 2017 with an opening reception on De
cember 10th\, 2016 at 7pm.

\n\n

As an eminent contemporary femal
e painter in California\, Kerry Rowland-Avrech&rsquo\;s work shows a vast
depth of understanding of American culture and art. The paintings of Rowla
nd-Avrech endeavor to simplify complex elements by creating imagery that b
uilds a narrative and allows the observers to ponder the view for themselv
es. From landscapes to figurative works\, it is the interplay of light on
form that compels her to create certain types of imagery.

\n\n

&ldquo
\;The way that Rowland-Avrech places and accents her figures recalls the w
ork of Edward Hopper\, but with a difference. Although Rowland-Avrech borr
ows some of Hopper&rsquo\;s stylistic devices\, the emotional tone of her
work is warmer. Like Hopper\, she creates spaces that suggest serenity whi
le also encouraging the mind to roam. In some works\, Rowland-Avrech goes
a step further by removing the figure entirely and letting the composition
&rsquo\;s open spaces and human traces prompt her viewers into creating th
eir own narratives.&rdquo\; -John Seed.

\n\n

Rowland-Avrech&rsquo\;s
work has been exhibited at the Palm Springs Modernism Show\, 2016 the Art
in the 21st Century Exhibition\, and the California Landscape Exhibition.
Her works are in the collections of the Triton Museum\, Santa Clara\, Cali
fornia and private collectors from New York\, and Washington\, D.C. to Pal
m Springs and San Francisco.

\n\n

Similar to Rowland-Avrech\, Kelly D
etweiler creates narratives that are open to interpretation and allow the
viewer to create their own response to the work. Detweiler&rsquo\;s work i
s often autobiographical\, sometimes political\, usually colorful and some
times humorous. The small pieces featured in this exhibit are all narrativ
e and usually deal with people immersed in nature or even sometimes lost i
n the forest. Issues of isolation\, loneliness and past relationships are
present in this work. Detweiler&rsquo\;s cut out pieces evolved over the p
ast few years and are a result of doing many drawings and paintings\, whic
h involved overlapping his imagery to create an illusion with space and ob
jects\, which contained a narrative. Kelly Detweiler received his MFA from
the University of California\, Davis in 1977. Kelly has shown his work ex
tensively both locally and internationally in Japan\, Korea\, and Germany.
His work can be found in many private collections as well as in the colle
ctions of the Skowhegan School\, De Saisset Museum\, the Triton Museum and
The Villa Heiss Museum in Zell Germany.

\n\n

Rowland-Avrech and Detw
eiler both create works that allow the viewer to become immersed within it
. Both of these artists take inspiration from nature\, light and form and
use these elements to create a narrative within their work. The John Natso
ulas Gallery is excited and proud to have the work of these two extraordin
ary artists on display.

For hundreds of years\, Europe&rsquo\;s most ta
lented composers aspired to create music worthy of devout worship\, which
they set into musical Mass settings\, known as &ldquo\;Missa&rdquo\; in La
tin.

\n\n

In December
the Vocal Art Ensemble\, an a capella chorus based in Davis\, will
present a concert set entitled Missa Virtualis: Fusion of Faith\, c
urating its own &lsquo\;Virtual Mass&rsquo\; to celebrate centuries of sac
red beauty.

\n\n

&ldquo
\;There are so many stunning Mass settings\, and I think very few people e
ver get to enjoy them\,&rdquo\; explains VAE director Tracia Barbieri. &ld
quo\;Sure\, you may have heard music by Josquin or Tallis or Byrd\, but th
eir Masses are harder to experience because they aren'\;t often program
med in concerts or even in worship&mdash\;and that is a real shame because
they could very well be some of their most inspired works!&rdquo\;

\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

Missa Virtualis sets rare re
pertoire within the context of the Mass form\, with each section combining
different composers and unique moments in music history. The concert will
also include an artful sampling of diverse contemporary choral repertoire
\, chosen for its adherence to the spirit of the Mass and its messages of
humility\, praise\, hope\, and peace.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;Abun D'\;bash'\;maiyo resonates with me because of
its ancient language\,&rdquo\; says Steve Burns\, who sings bass in VAE.
&ldquo\;The composer Mark Templeton researched and set the Lord'\;s Pra
yer in the Syriac dialect of Aramaic\, the language believed to be used by
Jesus himself.

\n\n

&n
bsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;When
I sing it I feel&hellip\;.transported!&rdquo\;

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

Guiding the audience through this program will be a se
ries of multimedia videos created specifically for this concert\, written
by Laura Sandage and narrated by professional voice actor James K Flynn.
p>\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;Music becomes more en
riching when you know the stories behind its creation!&rdquo\; notes Barbi
eri. &ldquo\;So I am excited about intertwining this ancient art with mode
rn technology\, so that our audiences can connect to the music on multiple
levels.&rdquo\;

\n\n

&
nbsp\;

\n\n

Whether the
y are aware of it or not\, fans of choral music have been affected by the
Mass. Masses were hugely responsible for the flourishing of polyphonic mus
ic during the Renaissance\, and as the principal large-scale musica
l composition of the day it set a precedent for many beloved large scale v
ocal works to come\, such as Mozart'\;s Requiem or even Orff'
\;s Carmina Burana.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

B
ut for the Vocal Art Ensemble\, this concert is intended to be a chance to
enjoy a more intimate atmosphere&mdash\;one that can arise from contempla
tive moments of quiet beauty.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;I love learning this music\, whose melodies are a balm to the so
ul\,&rdquo\; comments VAE alto Pat Moore-Pickett. &ldquo\;I hope many othe
rs take the chance to have their souls soothed through this concert.&rdquo
\;

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

To augment the concert
9\;s historical component\, VAE will be joined by members of the UC Davis
Viol Consort\, an ensemble formed by musicology Ph.D. candidate Melita Den
ny. Viols\, otherwise known as viola de gamba\, were popular in ins
trumental ensembles in the 15th to 17th centuries. Though they look like c
ellos of varying sizes\, they are more closely related to the lute\, and o
ffer a distinct\, ancient sound.

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

&ldquo\;I am very excited to be part of this fascinating program that
examines the Mass from different perspectives\,&rdquo\; reports Denny. &l
dquo\;So much of the music we play is either vocal music or closely connec
ted to vocal music\, and there is a lot we can learn by approaching our mu
sic in the way that a singer would.&rdquo\;

\n\n

&nbsp\;

\n\n

Missa Virtualis premieres on Friday\, December 9\,
2016 at 7:30 pm at the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (2620 Capitol Ave.\, Sa
cramento). Repeat performances are on Saturday\, December 10 at 7:30pm at

Gallery 1855 is pleased to announce the solo exhibition by m

p\;\n\nSim
on Dvorak has shown his work in multiple mediums throughout the United Sta
tes. His latest work is an exploration of networks. Nodes\, connected and
disconnected\, forming a greater whole\, exist as independent and yet depe
ndent objects. Connected and energy can be transferred. Disconnected and t
he node exists independently. Electrical circuits\, computer networks\, yo
ur &lsquo\;Related Items&rsquo\; have all manifested as a result of this p
aradigm.&nbsp\;\n\n&ldquo\;Through the vibrant medium of oil paint I have tried to v
isualize these concepts in diverse formats and styles. In a time of social
networks aided by technology\, examining the power and beauty of networks
becomes imperative so that we may better understand their nature and pote
ntial impact of their forms.&rdquo\;&nbsp\;\n\nThis will be a must see exhibition.

San Francisc
o\, CA- Caldwell Snyder Gallery is honored to host our third exhibition fo
r renowned artist Gregory Kondos. In this new body of work\, Kondos contin
ues to illuminate the natural splendor of his adopted home state of Califo
rnia. From his interpretations of the state&rsquo\;s endlessly varied coas
tline to his visions of Yosemite\, he has created remarkable images of Cal
ifornia&rsquo\;s multifaceted beauty. It&rsquo\;s a pleasure to have the 9
3 year old artist present for his opening reception\, a rare opportunity t
o honor the 70 year career of this enduring artist.

\n\n

Widely known as one of California&rsqu
o\;s foremost landscape painters\, Gregory Kondos has spent decades interp
reting the natural world in his fluid\, modern\, Plein-Air style. Recent p
aintings depict scenes of water converging with land: a snaking coastline\
, a beach\, a lake encircled by trees. The images exude an air of solitude
\, balancing tones of tranquility\, melancholy\, and independence. An isla
nd rises from the lake\; a single figure sits facing the ocean\; a cluster
of buildings or boulders huddles on a spit along the coast. The landscape
emerges as a character\, stoic but benevolent\, land and water accommodat
ing each other and enhancing each other&rsquo\;s beauty.

\n\n

Born in 1923\, Kondos&rsquo\;s li
felong achievements place him in the great tradition of American landscape
painters such as Albert Bierstadt and Wayne Thiebaud\, his longtime frien
d. He has exhibited widely and placed work in numerous private and institu
tional collections\, including the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington\, D.C.\,
the Shanghai Art Museum\, the Oakland Museum of California\, and the Sant
a Barbara Museum of Art. As Scott Shields\, Chief Curator at Sacramento&rs
quo\;s Crocker Art Museum\, which held a solo exhibition of Kondos&rsquo\;
s paintings in 2013\, has remarked\, his work &ldquo\;simultaneously celeb
rate[s] the terrain&rsquo\;s inherent formal\, abstract properties\, as we
ll as the beautiful possibilities of the paint itself.&rdquo\;

One of the mo
st appealing aspects of photography is that it is a subjective art form. W
hat seems right to everyone else might be wrong for you. So how do we get
away with calling this workshop &ldquo\;Crafting the Perfect Image\
,&rdquo\; when there is no such thing? Well\, thanks to the incredible abi
lities of Adobe&rsquo\;s Lightroom and Photoshop applications\, you are ab
le to have complete control of your own creative process from start to fin
ish. So whatever &ldquo\;perfect&rdquo\; means to you\, it can be achieved
by learning the software and developing a purpose behind your editing dec
isions.

\n\n

Chances a
re you&rsquo\;ve worked with Lightroom or Photoshop before\, and are at le
ast vaguely familiar with some of the controls available within the applic
ations. A raw image always benefits from editing. Instructor Tim Cooper wi
ll teach you how to make a good image into a great one. From cropping to s
traightening\, color correction to compositing\, making enhancements to yo
ur images can be as easy as moving a slider left to right. But does an eas
y-to-use interface replace the need to know why and when to use the softwa
re?&nbsp\;

Presented by California Lawyers
for the Arts in partnership with the California Museum\, the IP + Design C
onference features a panel discussion followed by a Q&amp\;A on legal issu
es impacting the design industry with experts Mark Leonard and Stephen Dav

tour the Museum'\;s exhibit &quot\;Primo Angeli: Evolution of a Legend
ary Designer&quot\; open through Jan. 29\, 2017. Advance tickets $10.00 ea

The Sacramento Food Film Festival fosters a space for creati
ve narratives and engaging entertainment that celebrate and explore all se
ctions of the food system and the food-related experiences of those all ov
er the world. The goal of the festival is to spark dialog about the challe
nges and opportunities associated with our food system\, as well as the im
portance of food literacy education. The Sacramento Food Film Festival is
an 8-day celebration of food\, films and fun! Created in 2012\, the Sacram
ento Food Film Festival was founded on the notion to educate the public ab
out the current food system and inspire positive change. Most films surrou
nding food issues are often not featured in traditional theaters. Thus\, t
he festival strives to bring the community&rsquo\;s attention to these fil
ms and issues whilst pairing them with food\, fun and activism. In 2016\,
with 52 volunteers and 94 partners\, the Sacramento Food Film Festival had
865 attendees and raised $46\,645 (net). The funds of the event go toward
s helping Food Literacy Center reach more low-income kids with cooking and
nutrition classes.
